Taxi Driver Returns to Big Screen In Advance of Blu-Ray Release

Last Sunday, Taxi Driver was one of the films mentioned by Steven Spielberg as a movie that lost the Best Picture race at its respective Academy Awards ceremony but still managed to become a culture landmark — perhaps even overshadowing the movie that did beat it (in the case of Taxi Driver, it was beaten by Rocky in 1976).

Martin Scorcese’s film has endured throughout the years — finding new audiences with every generation of film fans. Now, as the film celebrates its 35th anniversary, AMC Theaters will be presenting a special 4K Digital screening of Taxi Driver. Two screenings will take place — the first on Saturday, March 19 at 8 PM and the second at 8 PM on Tuesday, March 22. A free mini-poster will be made available with the purchase of a ticket.
